The Member of the Month of April is ๐ฆ๐ถ๐น! They will introduce themselves below:
Hi, my name is Sil (on the right). After finishing my bachelorโs in Cognitive Science & Artificial Intelligence, I thought it would be a great idea to make life slightly more complicated and start the masterโs Data Science in Business & Entrepreneurship at JADS. Along with a new study also came a new study association, which seemed like the perfect place to combine academic ambition with one of my other major interests: drinking beer. Besides my studies, Iโm also the chair of Kweek Communicatie in Tilburg, a student-run communication bureau where we work on real communication projects for clients. When Iโm not sitting in a lecture hall or staring at datasets pretending I fully understand them, thereโs a good chance youโll find me in the gym doing powerlifting, trying to lift weights that are probably slightly heavier than necessary. If Iโm not there, Iโm most likely on the couch watching PSV, because missing a PSV match is simply not an option. And letโs be honest: a beer tastes significantly better after a heavy squat or a PSV win. Within the association I try to stay somewhat productive as well. Iโm part of the BarBaCoE, where I regularly stand behind the bar serving drinks to others, although I have to admit that on many other nights Iโm just as often on the other side of the bar helping to empty them. Iโm also part of the SportsCo, which gives me the opportunity to channel my โsportyโ side (or at least pretend I have one). Besides that, Iโm involved in the Reef Keef Kelder, for which we are trying to organize a Rave in our very own bar, where I will DJ. Iโm also part of the Intro Camp Committee, helping organize the introduction camp so new members can immediately experience everything the association has to offer (including the beer, of course). Finally, Iโm still hoping to one day officially start the legendary PaBoCo (Bosgevechtcommissie / Forest Fight Committee). The idea has been submitted, the motivation is there and we have eager members now weโre just waiting for the chairman to finally allow it.
